Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having calcified opacity in peripheral portion of right middle lobe.
Calcification in lung tissue almost always suggest benign lesion.
This might be due to previous lung infection like tuberculosis or pneumonia or lung injury.
Lung diseases heal by fibrosis or calcification.
And this calcification remains as it is through out the life.
No treatment is required because this is benign, scarred lesions.
Don't worry for this calcified opacity.
